Description
Bubba is bossed around the family ranch by his wicked step daddy and his nasty stepbrothers, Dwayne and Milton. Bubba never complains, though. He's a real cowboy - tough as leather and cute as a cow's ear!
When Miz Lurleen, the purtiest rancher in Texas, decides to throw a ball to find herself a feller, Bubba has to stay at home. "You smell more like the cattle than the cattle do," taunt Dwayne and Milton.
But with the help of Bubba's FAIRY GODCOW, and a little Texas magic, Miz Lurleen finds the cowboy Prince she's always dreamed of. With it's western language and humor, the Texas retelling of Cinderella will really rope in the readers.

Bubba had just arrived at the cow pasture when a bolt of lighting struck, knocking him off his horse. Bubba was stunned for a moment, but when he picked himself up, he heard a voice.
"Go to the ball Bubba" said the voice.
 Bubba looked around. No one was there except him and the cows.

 Reviews
“A Cinderella parody that features the off-the-wall whang-dang hyperbole of Ketteman and the insouciance of Warhola, who proves herself only too capable of creating a fairy Godcow… Bubba and Babe, hair as big as a Texas sun, ride off to a life of happy ranching, and readers will be proud to have been along for the courtship.”
Kirkus, 11/97

"Upended fairy tales are pretty popular now, but this one has sass and pizzazz."

"Rustler lingo and illustrations chock-a-block with Texas kitsch make this ranch spun Cinderfella a knee-slappin' tale. Ketteman and Warhola's well-matched flair for hyperbole gives both the narrative and illustrations a one-two punch. Just the ticket for buckaroos lookin' fer a good read."
